ya sure i can drive you want to take my Disco that gets 13mpg or the F450 that gets 9mpg. You going to mount them yourself?
No thanks. I'll take them to Discount Tire about 2 mins from my house. Then I'll get lifetime balancing and rotations. Though they were gay last time and wouldn't touch them because I had wheel spacers. :banghead:

I bought mine at discount tire direct, because there isn't a discount tire where I live. I called them on the phone and they actually matched the price at amazon, with free shipping, which I had at amazon too. I wonder if the actual store can do that too...

I hate to break it to you, because the deal is over. But Amazon prime members got them for $219 a piece, and since they were on prime it was free 2 days shipping, and $3.99 for next day air.

Add mounting fees to that, and you are close to the $250 at NTB

Keep in mind the printed width has a corresponding rim width that accompanies it. Without looking I'd bet BFG calls out a rim width of either 7 or maybe 7.5 for the 255/85 and I think 8"rim width for the 265/75. If you run a stock 8"wide rim like my truck has the 255 will have a slightly wider than published tread.

You should just stay on the roller skate wheels you've got on there now.
I went from 285's to 255's and will never go back. The on road tramlining went away with the thinner tires and I have just as much traction off road.
The times I've done snow runs the 255's performed great.
I really like the KM2's and will probably be replacing mine this spring with the same.

You think the 255's would fit on a disco 1 with an OME heavy duty lift. Or iam I asking for trouble.
Not afraid to cut metal :)

You can fit anything with enough metal cut.
I'll be running them with a 3" RTE lift.

How many miles did you get out of yours?
